The Army announced a conditional agreement for hyperscale data-center development on March 26, 2026, including approximately 1,384 acres at Fort Bliss. Conditional selection does not establish final construction authorization, operating capacity or delivered jobs. Precise multi-gigawatt and employment figures circulated elsewhere should remain out of factual summaries until their project-specific documentation is available. Army’s March 26 announcement.
The central distinction is between a conditional selection and a completed, authorized facility. A project profile should not attach unverified power-capacity or employment totals to the Army announcement. Subsequent agreements and permits will be needed to establish the final development scope.
